Old Novae: When New Becomes Old*

Despite their brightness at maximum, classical novae are very faint at minimum light implying little or no follow up at all during quiescence. In fact, about 3/4 of the 204 novae that erupted before 1980 still lack spectroscopic observations or even an unambiguous identification of the post-nova. We embarked on a project aimed at deriving the physical properties of old novae decades after the explosion thus placing post-novae in the framework of CV-evolution and being able to compare the characteristics of the eruption with the characteristics of the remnant. We present an...
